Rahto leads Brainerd win

SARTELL - Tess Rahto scored 15 points to lead the Brainerd Warriors to a 48-33 victory over the Sartell Sabres in a Central Lakes Conference game Tuesday.

The Warriors, who have won eight of their last 10 games, received nine points from Nikker Graumann.

"We didn't play with much excitement after playing in a big contest against Little Falls (Monday) night," Warriors coach Carl Hendrickson said. "We came out in the second half and played with a little more enthusiasm and desire and were able to pull away from them for the win."
